SUMMARY:Seminar: Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Dysfunction in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
DESCRIPTION:The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN)\, the major source of thalamic inhibition\, is known to regulate thalamocortical interactions critical for sensory processing\, attention and cognition. TRN dysfunction has been linked to sensory abnormality\, attention deficit and sleep disturbance across multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. Currently\, little is known about the organizational principles underlying its divergent functions. In this talk\, I will start with an example of how dysfunction of TRN contributes to attention deficit and sleep disruption using a mouse model of Ptchd1 mutation\, which in humans cause neurodevelopmental disorder with ASD. Building on these findings\, we further performed an integrative single-cell analysis linking molecular and electrophysiological features of the TRN to connectivity and systems-level function. We identified two subnetworks of the TRN with segregated anatomical structure\, distinct electrophysiological properties\, differential connections to the functionally distinct first-order and higher-order thalamic nuclei\, and differential role in regulating sleep. These studies provide a comprehensive atlas for TRN neurons at the single-cell resolution and a foundation for studying diverse functions and dysfunctions of the TRN. Finally\, I will describe the newly developed minimally invasive optogenetic tool for probing circuit function and dysfunction. \nThis is a Zoom webinar. Click here to join or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://mit.zoom.us/j/92153793477

SUMMARY:MassBio Virtual Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Join MassBio for our first Virtual Networking Mixer! Come interact with other MassBio members from the comfort of your own home! We will use Zoom and divide into smaller groups called breakout rooms. This will give everyone the chance to speak and hear from eachother. We will have three rounds of networking with a new group of people for you to meet in each round. We encourage you to come prepared to give a brief intro to your groups and we will help by giving prompt questions throughout the event. \nDetails for accessing the meeting will be emailed to you the day prior.

SUMMARY:Immuno-Oncology 2020
DESCRIPTION:abRoots is pleased to announce the inauguration of the Immuno-Oncology Virtual Event taking place on June 3\, 2020. Immuno-oncology is considered by some to be one of the most promising areas of research in the world of anti-cancer therapeutics. Learn from our experts how immunotherapies can work alone\, together\, or in combination with other treatments to fight cancer. \nThis years event will include the following tracks and topics: \nLatest Trends in Immuno-Oncology \nImmunotherapeutic Modalities \n\nCurrent Opportunities and Challenges\nEmerging Targets for Novel Immuno-Oncology Therapy\n\nDevelopment and Clinical Applications of Cancer Immunotherapies \nRecent breakthroughs in immuno-oncology research translate into a paradigm shift with regards to attacking advancing cancer. The benefits of immuno-oncology have resulted in long-lasting tumor regression where surgery\, radiotherapy\, chemotherapy\, and targeted therapy proved less effective. \nOur virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open 6 months from the date of the live event.  The webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing.  This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global microbiology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions. \nLike the 2019 conference\, this event will be produced on our robust platform\, allowing you to watch\, learn and connect seamlessly across all desktop or mobile devices. Equipped with gamification and point system\, you can now move around the entire event\, earning points for a chance to win one of LabRoots’ most popular T-shirts. \nall for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary\, and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2020 Immuno-Oncology Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here. \nContinuing Education\nLabRoots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event\, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 30 credits. \nUse #LRimmuno to follow the conversation!
